Customize colors

You can override the chat and knowledge base UI colors with an asset catalog or override the UI colors programmatically in the SDK.

Override colors with an asset catalog

To override colors with an asset catalog in Xcode:

1. Create a new color set in your Assets.xcassets folder.
2. Name the color set KustomerColor.<colorName> and replace <colorName> with the UI color name listed in our KustomerUI.Color reference.

For example, you would use KustomerColor.activeLinkColor as the color set name for the active link color (activeLinkColor).

Override colors programmatically

You can also override colors programmatically in your code before you initialize the SDK with Kustomer.configure(...).

If you set a color in your code after your initialize the SDK with Kustomer.configure(...), the chat UI won't reflect the color override.

// Overrides and sets the Kustomer Chat UI chat history header background color to systemBlue
// Always include color overrides before you inisitalize the SDK

KustomerUI.Color.historyHeaderBackground = UIColor.systemBlue
